چکیده
In this study, 13 weeks (October to December 2012) of ovitrap surveillance was conducted in two suburban residential areas in Kampar town, Perak. A total of 17,310 Aedes mosquitoes were found in Taman Kampar Jaya, whereas Taman Juloong recorded a higher number at 19,042. Less than 1% of these were identified as Aedes aegypti, with the remaining confirmed as Aedes albopictus. The female Ae. albopictus were subsequently subjected to WHO standard diagnostic test kits against two pyrethroids (0.05% deltamethrin and 0.75% permethrin) and two organophosphates (1% fenitrothion and 5% malathion). The Ae. albopictus from both research sites were the most susceptible to deltamethrin, recording KT50 and KT95 response values of 15.84 minutes and 16.18 minutes; and 48.18 minutes and 49.44 minutes respectively. This was followed by permethrin (20.57 minutes and 17.52 minutes; 29.54 minutes and 54.54 minutes) and malathion (48.46 minutes and 62.69 minutes; 87.72 minutes and 141.04 minutes). Fenitrothion was found to be least effective towards Ae. albopictus; recording KT50 and KT95 response values of 150.29 minutes and 293.41 minutes for Taman Kampar Jaya, and 203.32 minutes and 408.07 minutes respectively for Taman Juloong. All tested Ae. albopictus showed 100% mortality after 24 hours post exposure. As both residential areas were fogged periodically by the municipal council; alternating between organophosphates and pyrethroids, thus, constant monitoring is crucial in light of the emergence of resistance noted in Ae. albopictus towards fenitrothion.
